📍 Control Valves
🔎 What Are Control Valves?
Control valves regulate flow, pressure, temperature, or level of process fluids with precision.
They are widely used in power plants for steam control, petrochemical facilities for flow regulation, food & pharmaceutical industries for process safety, and water & wastewater plants for flow management.
Choosing the right control valve is critical for process safety, product quality, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
🧭 Types of Control Valves
⚙️ Globe Valves
- Principle: Linear motion disk regulates flow.
- Applications: Steam, water, chemical processes
- Example models:
- Emerson Fisher Globe Control Valves
- ABB Globe Valves
- Yokogawa Globe Type Control Valves
- Siemens Globe Valves
🔄 Ball Valves
- Principle: Rotating ball regulates flow.
- Applications: Gas pipelines, high‑pressure liquids
- Example models:
- Emerson Fisher Ball Valves
- ABB Ball Control Valves
- Yokogawa Ball Valves
- Siemens Ball Valves
🦋 Butterfly Valves
- Principle: Rotating disk regulates flow.
- Applications: Large diameter pipelines, water and air systems
- Example models:
- Emerson Fisher Butterfly Valves
- ABB Butterfly Valves
- Yokogawa Butterfly Valves
- Siemens Butterfly Valves
🩺 Diaphragm Valves
- Principle: Flexible diaphragm regulates flow.
- Applications: Corrosive liquids, hygienic processes (pharma, food)
- Example models:
- Emerson Diaphragm Valves
- ABB Diaphragm Valves
- Yokogawa Diaphragm Valves
- Siemens Diaphragm Valves
🎛️ Positioners
Positioners optimize actuator signals to ensure the valve reaches the desired position.
- Types:
- Pneumatic positioners
- Electronic positioners
- Smart (digital) positioners
- Example models:
- Emerson Fisher FIELDVUE Positioners
- ABB TZIDC Digital Positioner
- Yokogawa YVP Positioners
- Siemens SIPART PS2 Positioners
Positioners enable higher accuracy, faster response, and reliable valve performance.
🔑 Critical Codes and Series

| Siemens SIPART PS2 | 6DR5010‑0NG00‑0AA0, 6DR5010‑0EG00‑0AA0 | Fail‑safe options, Profibus/Profinet compatible |
| Yokogawa YVP | YVP110, YVP210 | HART and Foundation Fieldbus compatible |
Communication Protocols: HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus, Profinet - SIL Compliance: SIL2/SIL3 certified versions are critical for ESD valves
- Fail‑Safe Functions: Positioners integrated with actuators for safe shutdown scenarios
⚖️ Comparison of Control Valve Types
| Type | Principle | Application Area | Strengths | Considerations |
| Globe | Linear disk | Steam, water, chemical | Precise control | High pressure drop |
| Ball | Rotating ball | Gas, high pressure | Tight shut‑off | Requires high torque |
| Butterfly | Rotating disk | Large pipelines | Lightweight, cost‑effective | Lower accuracy |
| Diaphragm | Flexible diaphragm | Corrosive, hygienic | Chemical resistance | Pressure limitations |
🧠 How to Select the Right Control Valve
Selection criteria include:
- Fluid type (water, steam, gas, chemical)
- Pressure and temperature conditions
- Pipe diameter and connection standard (ANSI, DIN, JIS)
- Cv value and flow characteristics
- Actuator type (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic)
- Positioner requirement (for precise control)
Application examples:
- Steam control → Emerson Fisher Globe Valves + FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS
- Gas pipelines → Siemens Ball Valves + SIPART PS2 fail‑safe
- Large water pipelines → ABB Butterfly Valves + TZIDC‑200
- Pharmaceutical industry → Yokogawa Diaphragm Valves + YVP210
